The politics of the paddock can be interesting . . . and strange. Nicky Hayden and Jorge Lorenzo have been extremely loyal to their gear manufacturers. Hayden won his 2006 MotoGP championship wearing Alpinestars, and has worn them since. Lorenzo has worn Dainese apparel since his days on 250s.

It appears that, for the 2011 season, Hayden will go to Dainese, while Lorenzo will switch to Alpinestars. Why? Almost certainly the reason is Valentino Rossi.

Rossi is a very close friend of Lino Dainese, founder of the brand, and Rossi is also a part owner of the Dainese brand. The European press suggests that Lorenzo, who will no longer be a teammate of Rossi, does not want to risk Rossi having a hand in the selection of his equipment for 2011. Dainese had supplied not only leathers to Lorenzo, but boots and gloves, as well. Hayden becomes Rossi’s teammate for 2011, of course, and undoubtedly received some assistance, and even encouragement, from Rossi in negotiating his Dainese deal.
